- Rating:
(5 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - Very good school as far as education. Not so good on resolving conflicts between bullies and the children they are bullying. Death threats aren't taken seriously either, they just "talk" to the student that threatens. The innocent child is the problem according to them.
